Today, bananas are just a delicious, fruity fact of life. But being able to buy these curvy, golden delicacies in places where it’s too cold to grow them is actually a very recent development in the big picture of human history. Understanding the banana's past actually tells us a lot about the modern world—about economics, politics, technology, and even why we keep getting annoying popup ads for magical fruit-based cures.
Join your favorite professional historian on this golden, slightly curved voyage through time, from the ancient Indian Ocean region through the present-day Western world. Discover how the banana has been adored throughout the ages. Explore why this fruit was once feared as a threat to civilization itself. And find out why bananas are as much a part of the Industrial Age as more obvious products like steel or petroleum.
